DASH-IF Workshop

MPEG DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) is an international standard for streaming media over the Internet. It is used by YouTube, Netflix and Hulu and is responsible for a significant share of Internet traffic. The DASH Industry Forum in conjunction with Comcast is organizing a workshop on MPEG-DASH. This workshop brings together the leading DASH experts – people behind DASH specifications, products and deployments – with practitioners interested in learning more about DASH. The goal of this workshop is to do a “deep dive" and let the interested practitioners learn more about the technical side of DASH.

6th FOKUS Media Web Symposium

The 6th FOKUS Media Web Symposium will offer the latest insights in internet delivered media such as 360°/VR Streaming, multiscreen interaction, media sync, SmartTV/HbbTV, protected adaptive streaming, related standardization and market developments. Following our tradition of providing a platform for international technology experts, the latest developments of web technologies and trends in the creative industry will be presented and discussed.
